Now is the most critical time to act to ensure gender parity on the ICC.

The elections for judges to the International Criminal Court (ICC) will be held next week (3-7 February 2003). Please take a moment and send the following letter, or one of your own, to your Permanent Representative to the United Nations and your Foreign Minister and demand that they vote for the women candidates to the ICC. For contact information for your foreign ministers, please visit: http://worldworld.com/

We now have an opportunity to ensure a MAJORITY of women on the world's first permanent criminal court! Please don't miss this opportunity to help turn the tide for the level of women's participation in these official posts. Ten very qualified women and 33 men are running for the 18 seats on the Court.
